Yageo
A premium Yageo upgrade with exceptionally tight tolerance (±0.1%) and TCR (25ppm) for precision circuits.
FRC0402F1002TS is a general-purpose 10kΩ, 1% tolerance, 1/16W thick film resistor in a 0402 package. Several pin-compatible alternatives and upgrades are available from various manufacturers.
Low for matched or upgraded parts. Medium for downgrades.
All suggested parts are in the standard 0402 package.
This is a common value resistor with many available sources.
Direct replacement for FRC0402F1002TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
For a direct replacement, consider WR04X1002FTL from Walsin, which matches all key specs. For improved performance, Yageo's RT series offers upgrades with tighter tolerance and TCR.
The main risk when substituting is ensuring the tolerance (±1%) and TCR (±100 ppm/°C) meet circuit requirements. Downgrade options with 5% tolerance exist but require careful design review.
